UNITED STATES PATENT OFF CE.

*oHARLEs P. JAooBs, or INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

COMBINED BOUQUET-HOLDER AND BADGE-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,901, dated December 12, 1882,

- ApplicatioufiledJuly 21, 1882. (Ne model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that [,GHARLES P. JACOBS, of Indianapolis, Marion county, Indiana, have invented a new and useful'lmprovement in Combined Bouquet-Holder and Badge-Pin,

curved piece, and the pin being passed through the garment, the bouquet is held firmly in place, the points passing into the stems. Fig. 3 represents another style, in which the curve to hold the bouquet is made in the upper part of the pin. Either of these pins may be used without the points, but I preferably use them. Fig. 4 represents anothcrstyle formed of a single wire, in which the loop to hold abouquet or badge is formed of the wire itself.

I am aware that a pin has been made wherein a circular socket has been attached to the plate or bar for holding a bouquet or badge,

July 16, 1872, and do not claim such a device.

That device is difi'erent from mine, as the tubes are there pinched together to hold the stemnvhile in mine the clothing to which the pin is fastened really helps to hold the bouquet in place.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows: 7

1, A combined bouquet-holder and badgepin, wherein a curved recess for holding the bouquet or badge is made in the top bar and integral therewith, substantially as specified.

2. A combined bouquet-holder and badgepin, wherein a circular opening for holding a bouquet or badge is formed in the top bar and integral therewith, substantially as shown. 3. A combined bouquet-holder and badgepin, havingan opening or hollow for holding a bouquet or badge, in connection with the top bar and points for penetrating the stems. with a pin for clasping the same and attaching it to the clothing, substantially as shown.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 7th of July, 1882.

CHARLES P. JACOBS.
